CITCON (Continuous Integration and Testing Conference) is the Continuous Delivery conference that pre-dates the term "Continuous Delivery". CITCON brings together people from every corner of the software development industry to discuss Continuous Delivery and the practices (e.g. Continuous Integration and Testing) that go along with it.

This includes everything from Test Driven Development to Continuous Deployment, from code metrics to post-release monitoring. Attendees include developer-testers, tester-developers, devops and other people looking for cross-functional solutions to make software better!

What makes CITCON different is the unique Open Space format: attendees don't sit in rows listening to presentations. Instead they openly discuss the topics that matter to them, with the experts, both local and visiting.

What: OpenSpace event discussing all aspects of CI and Testing, together

A successful CITCON Ann Arbor 2015 takes a lot of planning, preparation

I went to the CITCON in Chicago and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It's a small, free conference that was organized and hosted better than some large, expensive conferences I've been to. Most importantly, it had a great set of attendees which, since CITCON is an Open Space conference, led to some truly interesting sessions. — James Shore
